The New York Trilogy collects three linked novellas by Paul Auster: City of Glass (1985), Ghosts (1986) and The Locked Room (1986). The edition listed here is from Penguin Classics. Each story twists the conventions of the detective novel. In City of Glass, a writer gets a wrong-number call for a detective named Paul Auster and takes the case himself. The stories go on to explore identity, surveillance, authorship and the solitude of life in New York City.
